Find a turbo set up for it. They're making a big come back lately, and they're built much better than the 8o's with a lot of different options. Look into it.

Im not trying to go the fabrication route. Reliability is a factor. With a wife and three kids ride along on long trip everything must go smooth. No one that I know of has a bolt on turbo kit for this truck.

I think your heart is set on a s/c anyway. Id go with that, and tell the manufacturer what it's intended purpose on your truck is so they can sell you exactly what you need.

Yes it probably will yield different results but you can do what I did and contact Comp Cams and see what they recommend.

The cam is Comp Cams LSR .607/.614 219/227 112LSA 54-456-11 is the SKU with that I had to run the dual valve springs.

I called comp cams and I was shocked at the cam I was recommended. I told him what I needed it for and that I had no power adder

54-456-11 ....... Here is the link. http://www.compcams.com/Company/CC/cam-specs/Details.aspx?csid=1085&sb=2

Seems rather small to me

That's not that much more lift than stock. Stock is a little under .500 lift. That cam wont have a really choppy exhaust note.

Maybe ask the person you talked to or emailed what they think about the cam I have in your truck. I have seen a few dudes with the cam I have in their 4.8s.

going from 3.73 to like 4.10 gear you will notice your fuel consumption greatly increases i never recomend gears like a 4.10 unless using the vehicle to tow a heavy trailer or extreme offroad applications or strictly drag racing
my last truck had 4.10 gears and now this tahoe i have has 3.42 gears i totally notice the difference the mileage is alot better plus driving down the highway at 75 my engine isnt tached out like my truck used to do
